Barflies

Adapted and Directed by Ben Harrison

Winner:  Herald Angel and Scotsman Fringe First 2009

“Some people never get crazy. 

What boring awful lives they must lead.” 

Bukowski

Multi-award winning site-specific company Grid Iron, present a visceral look at the pains and glories of drunkenness and all the humour, horror, hope and devastation it can bring. 

Drawn from the short stories and poems of cult American writer Charles Bukowski, Barflies is a rumbustious encounter with his alter-ego Henry Chinaski and a bevvy of the women who shaped his life and work.

“Fiercely funny, unbearably sad and pitch perfect.”   *****

Sunday Telegraph
